We investigated the origin of strong magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) in L1 0 -type ordered
FeNi phase by angular-dependent magnetic circular dichroism. Our findings showed that …

Background Elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels are an independent risk factor for the
development of atherosclerotic diseases, including peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, …

The influence of discharge gas composition on the plasma nitriding of AISI316L austenitic
stainless steel was investigated using a laboratory-made apparatus consisting of a DC diode …

The nitridation of titanium (Ti) caused by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser under nitrogen gas
atmosphere was investigated in situ using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A laser …

CD133 is a transmembranous protein that mainly localises to the plasma membrane in
haematopoietic and neural stem cells as well as cancer stem cells. Although CD133 also …

Epitaxially grown Mn 2 VAl films were fabricated on MgO (001) single crystalline substrates
by using a sputtering technique. The resulting Mn 2 VAl films with substrate temperatures of T …

Calcineurin-inhibitor-induced pain syndrome (CIPS), a rare complication seen in patients
with organ transplants, is associated with the use of calcineurin inhibitors (CIs) such as …

Anodic oxidation has recently been investigated for fabricating photocatalytic TiO 2 layers
on Ti substrates. However, the most effective electrolyte for obtaining a high-performance …

A rapid surface-nitriding system using microwave-induced nitrogen plasma at atmospheric
pressure was developed for modifying iron and steel surfaces. Since the conventional plasma …

Background Vascular endothelium plays an important role in the regulation of vascular tone.
Volatile anesthetics have been shown to attenuate endothelium-mediated relaxation in …
